Invisible in America
Between 11- and 20-million undocumented immigrants live in the United States today, recently sparking a national fury over citizenship and immigration policy. Many of these are people who are deeply embedded in our communities, yet who have been painted with one brush as "drug smugglers, human smugglers, gang members and child molesters" (Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce). Because they cannot come forward to defend themselves, their true identities as people remain in the shadows.
These images were made inside the homes of undocumented residents in New England, with the goal of using the texture of their living spaces to make visible these human beings, and to provide a window into the very personal paths they have chosen.
